Guitar trouble/need help!?

Question

my electric guitar is a Cort Panther and i'm having some note sustain issues. I can't hold a very high note before it fades away completely within less that a second. What can make me hold that note for a very long? Something like a note sustain pedal or do i just need a new guitar? Please specify what company too. Any help is much appreciated =]

Answer 1

Sounds like you need to change your strings. When's the last time you changed them and what brand are you using? I personally like DR strings.

Answer 2

Sustain has to do with the guitar. That's one of the three things you need to look for when buying one (the other two are action and intonation).

I suggest you buy a new guitar and test it out.
